About this sunscreen
Omorovicza Mineral UV Shield is an SPF 30 mineral sunscreen using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It has a balanced finish and a low sting and pore-clogging risk, but the mineral content tends to leave a visible white cast, feels moderately heavy, and works poorly under makeup. The mineral pair gives good measured protection. With a score of 71.9 out of 100, it is a reasonable mineral choice for those who do not mind some cast.
